There are a total of four lawsuits that challenge the Tennessee General Assembly’s new congressional map making their way through Middle Tennessee courts. State lawmakers passed legislation to redraw congressional boundaries after an April 29 Supreme Court ruling that weakened a key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Plaintiffs argue the redistricting fractured Black communities for partisan advantage by dismantling of the state’s only majority-Black congressional district in Memphis.
